> Add attribute with dir path to events produced by tailing sources
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLUME-431
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-431
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Sinks+Sources
> Affects Versions: v0.9.4
> Reporter: Alex Baranau
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently tailing sources (tail, taildir) add attribute with filename to
> event. Looks like we should put dir names too, since this can be critical
> info for event's processing logic.
> E.g. tailing collectD output - it outputs stats data into dirs like
> /ubuntu904desktop.localdomain/cpu-0, /ubuntu904desktop.localdomain/cpu-1,
> etc. Here, path info is important for logs processing logic and should be
> available too.
> Jon's suggestion:
> My suggestion is to use a kwarg to make recording the dir a open, and to give
> the user option to pick attribute name.
> So something like this:
> tailDir("/dir",".*", 0, dirAttr="tailfiledir", fileAttr="tailfilename")
> So a file /dir/file would produce events with metadata like:
> event { taildirfile="/dir", tailfilename="file" }
